DGCA launches probe after Vistara aircraft operated on eight sectors with expired airworthiness certificate
NEW DELHI: The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has launched a probe after grounding one of Air India’s Vistara aircraft and derostering the personnel concerned, following the discovery that the airline had operated the aircraft on eight revenue sectors with an expired Airworthiness Review Certificate (ARC), posing a potential risk to passenger safety.
ARC is issued annually for an aircraft after a comprehensive review of its maintenance records, physical condition, and verification of compliance with all airworthiness standards.
